Matthew Henry (18 October
1662 – 22 June 1714) was an English commentator on the Bible, who
published his works in 1706, (six-volume Exposition of the Old and New
Testaments (1708–1710) or Complete Commentary), provides an exhaustive
verse by verse study of the Bible, covering the whole of the Old
Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament. After the
author's death, the work was finished (Romans through Revelation) by
thirteen other nonconformist ministers, partly based upon notes taken by
Henry's hearers, and edited by George Burder and John Hughes in 1811.
